“effectively out of control” could also apply to our Congress and spending .I think that will destroy US before any nuke plant.

DJ EU Energy Chief: Possible Catastrophic Events In Next Hours

BRUSSELS (Dow Jones)—Catastrophic events in Japan cannot be excluded in the next hours because the situation at a nuclear plant there is out of control, the European Union’s energy chief said Wednesday.
“The site is effectively out of control,” Guenther Oettinger, commissioner for energy, told a European Parliament committee. “In the coming hours there could be further catastrophic events which could pose a threat to the lives of people on the island.”
Oettinger also said the statements of the utility operating the distressed plant and those of the Japanese government were starting to differ.

Looks like Japan is trying to get a hundred years of disasters out-of-the-way in a weeks time....it all makes the word catastrophe seem tame.

Europe’s energy chief warned on Wednesday of a further catastrophe at Japan’s nuclear site in the coming hours but his spokeswoman said he had no specific or privileged information on the situation.

Based on that line you should ask the mods to pull this journalistic exercise in yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.

Gunther bought his puts on the Nikkei yesterday, and is hoping the pay off by the weekend!

He probably has only slightly more clarity on what’s going on in Japan than the main-stream media does. Being an Brussels Eurocrat, he also certainly has some strong ideological view or political position to support.

Given those 2 things, I will take his statements with a grain of salt.

So, this must be the signal to panic and run into the streets, with arms flailing and mouths screaming?

Where’s that animated GIF of people jumping into a hole...

Apparently whats out of control is his mouth. He has no information to make him say that according to his spokesperson.

“I don’t think I have ever heard so many “experts” with different opinions.”

I agree. I’ll also point out that nearly every one of the “disaster mongers” that I have seen have ties to Soros. It is almost as if they are wishing for people to die.
